[these] stories are bound to stay with readers for a very long time." -NPR"A furious joy drives these glimpses of brave lives in perilous places." -San Francisco Chronicle"Serious fun." -Newsday "McBride is such an agile writer that each voice feels authentic and somehow familiar. ...These are stories of and from the soul." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune"Unpredictable, exhilarating, and, often, hilarious. ... a wild and utterly delightful ride." -BuzzFeed"Poignant, imaginative, and 'literary' in the best sense of the word." -Christian Science Monitor"Funny, strange and touching. ...
